the inside rear view mirror also deacti-
vates the automatic dimming function of
the exterior mirrors .
- The automatic dimming mirrors do not
dim when the interior lighting is turned
on or the reverse gear is selected .
- Automatic dimming for the mirror only
operates properly if the sun shade* for
the rear window is not in use or the light
striking the inside mirror is not hindered
by other objects.

- Curved (i.e. convex) mirror surfaces in-
crease your field of view. Remember that
vehicles or other objects will appear
smaller and farther away than when
seen in a flat mirror . If you use this mir-
ror to estimate distances of following ve-
hicles when changing lanes, you could
estimate incorrectly and cause an acci-
dent .
- If the mirror housing is moved uninten-
tionally (for example, while parking your
vehicle), then you must first fold the mir-
ror electrically. Do not readjust the mir-
ror housing manually. You could damage
the motor which controls the mirror.
(D Tips
If there should be a malfunction in the
electrical system, you can still adjust the
exterior mirrors by pressing the edge of
the mirror.
